63.62, -19.613333: I'll be on my way up in just a minute!!

hurricane: ok!!
hurricane: c u soon!!!

[ in just a few minutes a sheep is knocking on the door, accompanied by one(1) robosheep and one(1) part-robohorse ]

[Opening the door]

Oh - hey, dude. That was quick.

Well, yeah! There's no way I'd pass up the chance to work on something like this!

When I showed her the picture she wanted to come up right away, ehehe . . .

Well, thanks for coming. I really appreciate you guys taking a look.

C'mon, I got it in the garage.

[Stepping out to join them in the hall and gesture them toward the elevator]

You're welcome!

[ and off she goes, ]

[ sheep is following behind ]

[TO THE GARAGE]

[Where there is a very suspiciously shaped tarp in the far corner]

Okay, check this out. Are you ready for this?

[And he tugs off the tarp like he's in a magician's show, to reveal the suit on the left]

...Wow! It's like Victorian steam armour, but new!

[ she immediately just like runs up to start examining it ]

[ she's also approaching it from the side . . . ]

Where did you get it, anyway?

I got these tokens I could trade in for something from home, so I swapped em out for Nem's suit.

[ horse is way too busy fawning over machinery to listen to anything anyone is saying, ]

Oh, the tokens!

[ looking it over. . . ]

Do you have one, too?

Back home, yeah. I ain't bought it back yet, though.

So, uh. What do you guys think? You think you can get 'er airborne?

Definitely! Probably through a method different than what you're familiar with, but this'll be a lot easier to get into the air than Mr. W was!

[ nodding to hurricane, and then going to valumi: ]

What do you think about portable magnetized launching rails?

Whoa, like for planes? You think that'd work?

A catapult? It'd work for the launch, sure...even if it's portable though, a system like that would still be really cumbersome. Maybe we could build it into the suit itself?

Not like planes, exactly, uhm. . . Maybe it'd work better if the feet were able to spring—oh!

[ to hurricane: ]

How do you open this? Can we see the insides?

Oh - yeah, sure.

[Opening it up for them]

[ LOOKING INSIDE ]

Wow...what was your idea, Felicity?

I was just wondering if there was a way to incorporate magnetic levitation. . .

—oh! Since Hurricane's planet is capable of having its gravity be stabilized against, it might be a property of "Earth". It'd definitely be impossible on Terra, since the Catastrophes disrupt the magnetic fields too frequently for that to be a reliable method of flying, but maybe it's different here.

[Fiddling with some latches to pop some plating on the armor, letting them get a look at the inner workings along with the control area]

These dudes are the mag-lev bits, if that helps any. Here and here.

[Indicating them in the arms and legs and chest]
